Great example why I do ALL my own maintenance as much as possible !!

All good advise, thank You, I have cross referenced the Prevost shock number which is now 630134 from Prevost for all positions for my 95 to a Gabriel non adjustable shock 85329

I have a lot of Logging Truck operators nearby who are using the Gabriel shocks with good results,price is very competitive as well and available on my doorstep, going to replace all 8 this winter with this model,

As has been said if i have weak / older shocks these will be an improvement.

Thanks Again for the feedback

Royale, probably your best bet, interior 1/2 wood, mostly cherry.

Really nothing you can’t fix on your own. I have a 2000 Royale,

first Prevost, had BlueBirds and about everything else.

I believe a Royale is the only way to go for guys like us.

I’ve had this one over 10 years, don’t think there’s anything on the Prevost

side I haven’t replaced, nothing on the Royale side.

New facility just getting started in N. Augusta, SC (GA/SC line) – csrarvboatstorage.com – I am moving my XL40 there shortly. 30A power, water in the building, not for living there, just to keep your bus inside… really great guy was in the mattress business owns the property and the building. I am going to be there fairly often, so you will know I’ll be keeping a special eye out for Prevost people.

Michael, The most shameful part of your post is the absolute truth of it! Some people in this country have lost their minds. I’d not consider a road trip today without a firearm or two in my bus. I’m especially packing when I take my bus up to Jeff’s. But that guy is fearless, something about “Go ahead, make my day… Do you feel lucky, we’ll do yah punk”? And I hate how he smiles when he says that.

I told Jon when leaving Jeff’s that he emptied my pockets. And Jon says “You left there with pockets”?

I always wanted to develop a way to stick a big decal on their rear that says look out I am a dumba** driver

And one that said i never read that the left lane is for passing not sightseeing

In our down time I rebuilt all 4 calipers, on E-bay i found the basic rebuild kits for the Meritor 1560 ADB kits were around $50 bucks apiece for them and ordered the Meritor clay base grease kits had new green bellow around piston new piston return spring, seals-O rings and more. I did this because one of the guys on the Forum pulled his apart to see the wrong grease and they were a mess, Mine looked really good inside but anyways they all return really good now. I installed pads also ,and like Jon said about the grease follow the instructions on greasing and last thing back adjuster back all the way off with pop it valve out and get all the extra grease out. I had a problem in the beginning with the foot valve not realising front brakes rite away, the duck sound would take 5 or 6 seconds delay

Sorry, Dave, almost forgot …

I do not see how iBooks should eat much data at all. Normally, like with an Amazon Kindel, the books download to your device in seconds and stay in its memory until you delete it.

That should be the same for any e-reader or reading on a tablet, PC, laptop.

While you can read ebooks on laptops etc, personally, I would spend the 50-100 bucks and buy a dedicated device. Such as, the Amazon Kindel.

I have one and so does my wife because our reading interests are different.

I do probably have close to 50 books on mine.

It is there when I want to read by simply pressing the on button.

On a tablet, PC, laptop you have to start it up, open the app and then start reading. All good and easy to do but I prefer having it separate. Especially, since an ereader is compact and lightweight and easy to carry and leaves the tablet etc available for other uses.

Excellent – THANK YOU for the advice!

UPDATE:

Just received my invoice from Prevost – Goodlettsville and they warrantied the labor for this most recent slide controller replacement. Very happy camper right now……hope the controller continues to work.

[Davy]

you will almost certainly have to convert from the 1/4. ISRI is german and use metric air line fittings. One connector is to the side (right side toward passenger). That is the height etc. The one in the back (its kind of attached to the back rail of the platform, is the lumbar. If you have a capped line off the tee, then it probably attaches to there if the seat has lumbar support. if it doesn’t is just tapped to possibly accommodate one that does.

Dont try compress fitting a 1/4in line to a 6mm line. it wont work, at least not well for long.

[Davy]

Thank you, Jim.

Thankfully, we are back to work for one week so my time is limited. I hope to look it over today. Great information.

is it an isri seat or recaro or something else ? if its the older isri seat – the airline coming in comes through the floor and its a 1/4in that comes to a isri tee. . however the plastic airlines are brittle that break off with age. the Tee then connects to two airlines which are 6mm (european airline size). One connects to the back for lumbar believe, and the other connects to the side. You can reach and service all three lines there if you lie on the side and kind of shift the rubber accordion boot.

Davy, I’m going by memory and it is based on how Liberty mounted the pedestal and seat, but to get at my air lines I think I had to lift the seat off the pedestal.

I don’t care what size a person is that space has almost no room to work and I think the cabinet that is behind and wraps around the driver’s seat must not have been in place when the coach was originally assembled.
